The wives of those mobilised in the Donetsk People’s Republic wrote a collective appeal to Pushilin with a request to punish the “Kadyrovites” who allegedly abused and raped their husbands.
The letter with the signatures of the women was published online.
It says, in particular, that the victims of sexual violence by the military from the Chechen Republic were two servicemen of the so-called people’s militia of the “DPR”, who previously even worked in the city administration of Dokuchaevsk and were mobilised for the war against Ukraine.
“At combat positions our relatives and friends are subjected to abuse and humiliation by the military of the Chechen Republic.”
“An unprecedented incident occurred near the village of Berestove. Two servicemen were raped by Chechens in front of their colleagues,” the statement reads, as reported by StopCor.org.
The news follows reports that the first results of referendum voting at polling stations in Russia on joining the Russian Federation, have been published, as reported on Tuesday, September 27.
